A Critical notice of Sergio Cremaschi’s L’etica del Novecento
Authors: De Grandis, Giovanni
Abstract: Sergio Cremaschi’s L’etica del Novecento offers a clear and careful account of the development
of ethical theory in English-language and German Philosophy. The focus on meta-ethics and
normative concerns allows the author to offer a very concise, reliable and comprehensive
overview of philosophical ethics. In this respect the book effectively fills the gap left by the
lack of a good, updated history of ethics. Although those qualities establish Cremaschi’s work
as a valuable reference book, a few doubts are raised about the highly theoretical approach
adopted. On the one hand this choice proves not to be very hospitable to some traditions
(like most of French philosophy, Marxism, Virtue ethics etc.) and overlooks the connections
between ethics and the socio-historical world, with the effect of giving a picture of moral
philosophy as a very abstract and academic discipline. On the other hand it is not clear
whether the emergence of applied ethics is to be greeted as the culmination of the resurgence
of normative ethics, or whether it is conspiring with other trends to undermine the whole
enterprise of constructing normative theories. If, as I suspect, the latter is the case, the moral
of Cremaschi’s narrative may be different from the one he suggests.

Authors: Trifirò, Fabrizio
Abstract: This paper aims at illustrating how from the works of John Rawls we can see emerging a
viable anti-foundationalist cosmopolitan and deliberative democratic approach to liberalism.
I shall argue that, despite what some of his critics believe, Rawls’s liberal theory of justice (1)
is not concerned with foundational preoccupations (e.g. Michael Sandel); (2) does not ignore
concrete processes of collective deliberation over matters of public interests (e.g. Amy
Guttman, Dennis Thomson, Brian Barry); (3) nor does it endorse rigid limits to the scope of
democratic deliberation (e.g. Jeremy Waldron, John Gray, Richard Bellamy). Yet I shall
claim, following Andrew Kuper, that (4) there is a real risk of infringing individuals’ primary
moral significance in trying to stretch too much the limits of liberal toleration in order to
accommodate political liberalism with multiculturalism in the international sphere.
